Prepare the aloe vera
Clean the aloe vera, use a knife to cut off the two sharp spines on the sides of the aloe vera and cut it into bite-sized pieces about 5 finger lengths long, then soak in water for about 30 minutes.
After that, cut the aloe vera into smaller pieces about 2 finger lengths long, then stand the pieces upright and slowly cut off the outer skin to obtain the aloe vera flesh inside.
Once you have the aloe vera flesh, use a knife to cut it into smaller cubes.
Next, place the diced aloe vera into a strainer, rinse briefly under running water to wash away all the slime, and add 3 tablespoons of salt.
Mix well until the salt is completely dissolved, then rinse the aloe vera with water again and place it into a bowl.

Prepare Aloe Vera
Cut off the thorns on both sides of the aloe vera, then soak it in water for about 15 minutes. After that, peel off one side of the outer skin and use a spoon to scrape the aloe vera flesh into a bowl.
If you find any remaining skin still attached to the aloe vera flesh, you can use a knife to clean it off and put it back into the bowl, rinse briefly with water, and then dice it.
Put it into a large bowl, add water, stir well, and use a strainer to remove the aloe vera. Repeat this process about 3 times with water until the aloe vera is no longer slimy.
Pick the pandan leaves, cut them into pieces about 3 finger lengths, wash them clean, let them drain, and tie them together.

How to choose fresh and delicious aloe vera
- To enjoy the aloe vera drink at its best and ensure safety, you should use aloe vera grown at home.
- If buying aloe vera at the market, you should choose to buy from reputable, familiar stores, prioritizing thick branches that have just been harvested with dark green skin and a sticky substance oozing from the cut.
- Additionally, for convenience in preparation, you should select long and slender aloe vera branches without any dents.
- Do not choose aloe vera branches that appear dry and lifeless, with skin turning light yellow, and sharp thorns that are darkened, dry, and hard. This aloe vera has withered, will taste bitter, and its flesh will also be cloudy and unappealing.
Tips for preparing aloe vera without bitterness or slime
- Method 1: Peel the aloe vera, cut it into small cubes, then soak in a diluted salt-lemon mixture, rinse with clean water, and marinate with sugar for about 2 hours.
- Method 2: After peeling and cutting the aloe vera into small pieces, wash it with salt, then briefly blanch it in boiling water, and soak it again in cold water to maintain its characteristic crunchiness, finally marinating it with sugar for 2 hours.
